Forever Floral Friends

Recently my sister lost a friend, he was a very special soul and while they offer little comfort these were made in tribute to an amazing life..

RIP Ashley 💔

So I've not posted for a while but still I've been working behind the scenes on a few special bears.

This being one.. a symbolic bear that means the world to its owner. In traditional miscarriage awareness colours this pink and blue bear represents the loss of a special life that never begun anywhere but in their parents hearts. Fly high angel 💗

🍀🍀🍀 Competition Time!!! 🍀🍀🍀

I'm hearing some of my audience struggle finding my page because its not very specific as to what I sell. If you search for a rose bear in Facebook for example my page would not be on the search criteria. 😱😓

So with that I've decided to change the name of forever floral friends. Very hard decision. To what though I am stumped so I need your help!!! 😊

I would like to do in the form of a little competition. Winner to receive a lovely little bear and be the new name of the page. 🥰

Heres all you have to do;
⭐ Comment below any fancy little names you could think of to replace Forever Floral Friends. Max of 3 so choose carefully.
⭐ Share the post
⭐ I will choose the top 4 I like the most.

The name with the most votes will win a free bear and become the new name of the page. Please pay attention to the names carefully no duplicates! Deadline for round 1, 15th at 15:00😉💕

Another cute black and white bear for a birthday present 🖤🤍🖤🤍

Christmas Order cut off dates are approaching fast and with that so is my slot availability...

Order now to avoid disappointment, I only have 25 slots remaining in my diary 💕

One more piece made for the funeral. Made for my Grandma from her 4 children, my dad included. 💔

Love that these flowers won't rot and wilt like normal funeral flowers. These can last for a very long time and be kept as keepsakes.

This bear is very special to me as its made specially for my Grandma's funeral.

He stands at 37cm's tall. The largest bear I've done so far and holds 1155 roses of her favourite colour. Was heart wrenching to make but I'm so happy with the end result since I put plenty of added personal pressure on myself.

RIP Gillian Calder 💙

Evening everyone. We have less than 2 months until Christmas and just over a month for the deadlines for your Christmas orders. Don't leave it last minute as I may be overrun with work.

On another note the last few days I've been quiet and working on a special and personal project for my Grandma's funeral. Its a long process and harder to make, being a perfectionist and the emotional attachment to my project so I apologise for the lack of updates. I'm still taking orders though and they are still being made along side this project also.. 💕

A very special bear in honor of miscarriage/infant loss awareness for a lovely girls baby that was too precious for this world.

Traditional miscarriage colours and angel wings..

Remember: There's no footprint too small, that it cannot leave an imprint on this world 👼👣

So October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss awareness month. And with this I want to share some personal details with you all which lead to Forever Floral Friends existence and why I have a passion for our rosey friends. 💕

***Trigger Warning***

Back in December 2013 I became one of the one in four faces, for the first time, i lost my first baby, there heart stopped. Was one of the hardest times of my life and i sunk into a depression. I felt my baby deserved better and was distraught for some time. I had my rainbow baby 12months later and she is my world.

Fast forward to last year 2019 February I was happily expecting a planned baby again but there was trouble from the start. I was terrified of another miscarriage but this time it was more serious after weeks of tests/scans it turned out my Pregnancy was ectopic resulting in the loss of both baby and a tube. The recovery was a lot longer than expected with the surgery and I didn't get to grieve my loss like I felt I should have been able to, I struggled.

2 months later I received a letter from the early Pregnancy unit of the hospital with a set date and service to say goodbye to my baby and I was overwhelmed with the thought. It stated i could bring flowers for my child to the service but I didn't feel that was special enough. This is when I came across a page just a few hours later I saw the Rose Bears and automatically knew what I wanted. From here I messaged the owner and went to order and the woman was so moved with what the bear represented for me she never charged me for it. After the service I carried my bear home and it stood pride of place on my fire place from then on, I paid for one other customised bear so I had a pair for both my babies. They mean the world to me even now and remain a reminder of my little gems who where too precious for this world.

It was then a few months later in December 2019 a dear friend of mine lost her first baby as well. Knowing how she felt and how the bears gave me comfort I decided to make my first Rose Bear for her little angel, it turned out beautifully and I loved making it. From then many people requested the bears and they are a serious passion of mine to create. Not long after this page became a reality and here we are today.

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Mine is definitely the dark blue!
